Weight Management Patient Stories

Our team supports you with all your weight management goals and needs. Through our many weight management program options, we give our patients the tools they need to succeed and help patients live healthy lives. Here are some of their stories:

Lisa Rajnicek exceeded her weight loss goal the same way she earned her two master’s degrees. She studied weight loss strategies, put a plan in place and followed it. After losing more than 60 pounds in a year, she’s inspiring her co-workers with her new healthy lifestyle habits.

After years of consistently gaining weight and taking insulin to treat his type 2 diabetes, Antonio Ramirez knew he needed to do something to get his condition under control. With the help of his wife and the Center for Metabolic Health and Weight Management, he completely changed his life.

Karen Pensyl is a “rock star” in her weight loss support group. She lost more than 125 pounds in just over a year and has kept if off for nine months with the help of Henry Ford Macomb Hospital’s Center for Weight Management.

When Mark Hofman’s only daughter left for college, the single dad decided it was time to start taking better care of himself after years of neglect took its toll on his health. Mark was able to lose more than 100 pounds with the Healthy Solutions diet

At age 41, Natalie Anter wanted to enjoy a healthier, more active lifestyle and to avoid the health problems that run in her family. She credits her long term success to the Center for Weight Management.
